![]() What's the long-term play that I'm missing? Either they keep Fleet cut down, disadvantaging it in comparisons against VSCode, or they make it full-featured, and cannibalize IntelliJ license renewals. ![]() I really don't understand the product strategy here. They're not like Microsoft, where sacrificing some Visual Studio sales can be justified as a way of attracting developers to the broader platform. Their IDEs are cross-platform (though, admittedly, some platforms are more equal than others). VSCode was an effort to reach out to those developers and tell them, "Hey, even if you don't use Windows, even if you've never touched C#, we still have something to offer you." They didn't have anything to offer for developers who weren't already bought into the Windows/.Net stack. I understand why Microsoft came out with VSCode. If they did that, then why would anyone buy IntelliJ? Once again, you haven't shown any versatility that Emacs has, or shown how it's more performant for VSCode, especially for a new user, or addressed that Emacs is unintuitive to someone not used to 80s TUI interfaces.>If they make it free, they could get a big chunk of the market, especially if they actually provide it with IntelliJ level of autocomplete, refactorings, multicursor support etc. Sure, there's probably somethings that Emacs can do that would be nice to do in any other editor, but the sentence shows before that most developer tasks can be handled within VSCode. You mention having LISP being embedded within Emacs, but JS is embedded within VSCode. Why are you stuck on the UI and thinking it's a limitation? I can embed an IRC channel in VSCode as a dedicated tab, or connect to WeeChat from the embedded terminal, or use it to manage Bitbucket PRs and Jira tickets. VS Code has a rather narrow understanding of what part of the UI can be modified. As Emacs Lisp is fully integrated with GNU Emacs's core, you can do anything with it. I suggested that the choice of backend technologies limit the flexibility of what VS Code can do and what it cannot do. I've only ever used vscode & eclipse(long, long ago) so that is what I am most familiar with, I was just curious if switching to xcode could offer any benefits being on its native os. I'm starting into web dev and while I know a lot of the basics, I wanted to semi prepare for things that might require more compiling(still in the field of web dev tho). Really the only language I am using is JavaScript. Like driving yourself insane and hate using the mouse and like lisp ? emacs Like driving yourself insane and hate using the mouse ? vim ![]() Only using Windows, and ASP.NET ? visual studio 2019 ![]() Like to play around with lots of languages and don't want to relearn new UIs ? vscode memory usage is generally better than Spotify after a few days of no shutdowns,and can be a bit sluggish at times but that's likely due to a crappy CPU + compiling half a million line of code at a time.Īs you said, it does depend on YOUR usage, but your usage really is the most important thing for determining an editor. Haven't found a good reason to switch from VSCode yet. started using VSCode ( and OSX ) for work, and have been using it for personal projects. Recently ( january ) moved to OSX from using Visual Studio on Windows, and Vim on Linux. ![]()
